"You are the only one who has many lies."
"There are so many unreasonable things, but I just want to spend more time with my wife. If this is all unreasonable, then there is really no justice at all."
Lu Qiyan's face was filled with grievances, and his eyes were so aggrieved that they were almost dripping with water.
This pitiful appearance made Xia Mingyue laugh.
"You..." Xia Mingyue sighed helplessly.
It is really her nemesis!
Lu Qiyan was messing around, but Xia Mingyue had no choice but to simply obey Lu Qiyan's wishes and just lay in his arms, twirling his hair and playing with it.
"Is the matter done?"
"I'm done here." Lu Qiyan said with a smile, "I'll leave the rest to the third prince."
As for the outcome, just wait for the good news.
Xia Mingyue smiled and stopped asking, thinking that Lu Qiyan had been running around in the mountains all night in the cold winter, and only lay with Lu Qiyan for a while longer.
It wasn't until the sun had completely risen that both Yinqiao and Zhuang Cui came to ask, then they got up.
Breakfast is ready.
The red date and lily porridge cooked in the kitchen of Cao Zhai Villa is soft, glutinous and sweet, pies with meat and vegetable fillings, fresh and delicious steamed egg custard, and several very exquisite side dishes to accompany the porridge.
It can be said to be very rich.
Xia Mingyue's mouth watered when she saw it, and Lu Qiyan was also hungry.
Lu Qiyan was still "sick" at this time, so Xia Mingyue took care of his diet and fed him with his own hands.
It can be said that Lu Qiyan enjoyed this kind of preferential treatment very much, and the tips of his eyebrows almost flew out of his eyes.
But enjoyment is enjoyment. Lu Qiyan did not forget to take the spoon and chopsticks over when he was eating, and fed Xia Mingyue to eat. In this way, Xia Mingyue would not be hungry because of his eating.
Xia Yunji was enjoying his breakfast at the stone table in the courtyard, with Wu Jin accompanying him, chewing on his own meatballs and big bones.
After all, last night's trip was really exhausting. It consumed too much energy and we had to make up for it!
The soldiers were very used to seeing Xia Yunji and Wu Jin eating together. After all, Xia Yunji and Wu Jin had a good relationship, and they all noticed it.
However, it was such a cold winter month and it was early morning. This person and the dog were not in the house, eating together with Commander Lu and Madam Xia. Instead, they were eating outside in the yard on such a cold day...
< br>
Why?
Doubts arise in people's minds, which will prompt people to go and find answers. So, after everyone made eye contact, someone finally couldn't hold back and stepped forward to ask.
"Why do Commander Xia and Wu Jin have breakfast in the courtyard?"
"Is it against military discipline to have breakfast in the courtyard?" Xia Yunji asked back.
The soldier who asked this question was stunned for a moment, and after a moment he smiled coquettishly, "It doesn't violate military rules and regulations, but the weather is cold. If you eat it in the yard, I'm afraid this cake, vegetables, and porridge will all be eaten." It’s getting cold...”
"I'm just willing to eat it cold." Xia Yunji answered again, holding his neck.
Soldiers, "..."
Commander Xia today not only spoke very straightforwardly, he even acted as if he had eaten explosives and seemed ready to blow people up at any time.
Slipping away.
The soldier didn't care about his curiosity, so he shut his mouth very wisely, returned to his duty position, and stood upright.
Xia Yunji didn't forget to give him a look.
Just ask, just ask!
Anyone with any brains knows that since they all came to the yard to eat, there must be a reason why they can't go back to the house for breakfast. They even asked if they had to break the window paper to make them look bad. .
Bad intentions.
Xia Yunji fiercely stuffed the cold pie in his hand into his mouth and chewed it hard.
The force was so strong that even the veins on his forehead popped out.
This made the soldier who had just come to ask more questions couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable all over his body, especially his bones, which felt inexplicable pain.
It was as if what Xia Yunji was chewing hard just now was not the pie, but his bones.
Tsk, I must have a better memory this time. No matter how big my doubts are in the future, I will never ask them too garrulously.
Don’t ask any questions!
After Xia Yunji stuffed half of the pie into his mouth, the resentment in his heart had not been completely eliminated, but when he saw the well-behaved Wu Jin at his feet, the expression on his face softened a lot, and he reached out and touched Wu Jin's brain. "Sure enough, only Wujin is the best behaved."
That's that's.
Wu Jin is the best in the world.
"How about we just ignore them from now on?"
Okay, okay...
No, not good!
Wu Jin immediately became alert. After looking at Xia Yunji seriously, he took the bone he had not finished chewing and moved it to the side. He even gave Xia Yunji a meaningful look.
It seems to be saying that we have a good relationship, but you can't sow discord casually.
Xia Yunji, "..."
Heaven, earth, this world is so dangerous!
At this moment, Ruan Zhiheng is also complaining about the evil world.
Because he received a message from Xiao Luoan yesterday and made an appointment to go to Meiling today to check the situation, Ruan Zhiheng got up early and prepared to go there after breakfast.
But he had just finished washing when someone outside announced that Xiao Luoan was here and wanted to have breakfast with him.
When Ruan Zhiheng heard this, his expression suddenly became a little ugly.
Yesterday, he ordered his subordinates to make his favorite crab roe soup dumplings and silver noodle soup this morning. The noodle soup must be made from black-bone chicken, and there must also be a piece of his favorite soup in it. It’s the sugar-filled abalone that I like to eat.
But now, the food has been prepared, but Xiao Luoan is here. Do you want to have breakfast with him?
Ruan Zhiheng was a little unhappy, but he could only ask someone to let Xiao Luoan in, and at the same time ordered the people below to prepare some simple food.
Clear soup noodles, pickled vegetables, and the usual white flour sesame cakes. A person who is an honest official must be established and established.
After the explanation, Ruan Zhiheng sat down in the flower hall. Xiao Luoan came over in a hurry, and Xu Chong beside him was carrying a food box.
Putting the food box on the table, Xu Chong took out the contents.
It's a portion of smoked chicken, but it's been torn into small pieces by hand for easy consumption.
"It's a great honor for the third prince to come to the humble residence for dinner. He actually brought his own food, which made him feel even more uncomfortable." Ruan Zhiheng smiled brightly.
"Lord Ruan, you're welcome." Xiao Luoan said with a smile, "This is the smoked chicken I specially bought from Juxian Pavilion last night. I heard it was the biggest one in Juxian Pavilion that day. It was for this morning's meal." Let’s enjoy it together with Mr. Ruan.”
"Thank you, Third Prince, for your concern. I would be very grateful to you..."
"Hey, what are you saying to be grateful or not? This is very outspoken. I just remember that you are an upright official, and you are very frugal on weekdays. I think you rarely go to Juxian Pavilion to eat on weekdays, and you probably don't eat much. The smoked chicken from Juxian Pavilion can be considered a feast today," Xiao Luoan said with a smile.
A trace of displeasure flashed across Ruan Zhiheng's face.
Who are you looking down on? Do you think he is a country bumpkin who has never even eaten this thing?
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
But the slander was the slander, Ruan Zhiheng still had a smile on his face, "What the third prince said is absolutely true."
After the opening greetings were over, the people below brought out sesame seed cakes, clear soup noodles and pickled vegetables, which were paired with the smoked chicken brought by Xiao Luoan. It was a combination of meat and vegetables, light and delicious.
Xiao Luoan was busy and tired last night, and now he was very hungry. A bowl of clear noodle soup was not enough, so he simply asked for another bowl.
On the other hand, Ruan Zhiheng was not happy because his morning meal had been replaced. The meal at this time was also very unappetizing and tasted like chewing wax. Not only did he eat slowly, but he also ate extremely hard. few.
"Master Ruan, do you have a bad appetite?" Xiao Luoan asked.
"It's probably because of the two days of hard work. I went to bed a little late last night and woke up a little early today, so I don't have an appetite yet." Ruan Zhiheng apologized, "I made the Third Prince laugh."
"Master Ruan is dedicated to the people and is busy all day long. How can you say this with a smile? I just have to go to Meiling later. I don't know when I will have food at noon. If Master Ruan eats too little, I am a little worried about Master Ruan. I won’t be able to bear it.”
"What the third prince said is true."
Ruan Zhiheng lost his smile and put the unpalatable food into his mouth.
After the meal was finished, Xiao Luoan immediately arranged for horses and went to Meiling together without giving Ruan Zhiheng any time to rest.
We still follow the route we took to Meiling before, entering through the narrow path trodden by mountain climbers, climbing to the peak, and looking at it with clairvoyance.
As far as the eye can see, there are mountains and plains everywhere, but they are just ordinary mountains, there is nothing wrong with them at all.
Xiao Luoan sighed, "It seems that someone down there reported that some people in Meiling are mining privately, which means that profit-seeking businessmen are digging lime without authorization."
"From the official's perspective, this should be the case." Ruan Zhiheng said, "After all, there are no minerals in Meiling, only some lime. Furthermore, if someone really mines, the mine is huge and it is impossible not to see it."
"Indeed." Xiao Luoan nodded.
He thought so before, and even the people sent out to investigate in private had preconceived ideas.
I just feel that mining is not a trivial matter. There will definitely be a huge mine. You only need to stand on the top of the mountain and glance at it to see if there are any clues.
Ruan Zhiheng and others also used this method to mine iron ore in Meiling for many years without being discovered.
The anger on Xiao Luoan's face flashed, and then he sighed deeply, "It seems that my Meiling and others have gained nothing after all. It's time to set off back to Beijing."
When Ruan Zhiheng heard this, his heart lightened, but there was a slight frown on his face, "The third prince's visit to Meiling this time can be regarded as finding out the matter of someone secretly digging lime, and dispelling the rumors. It is also quite fruitful. Why do you say Did you get nothing? ”
"This time I came under the orders of my father, and I only found a few businessmen. With such thunder and light rain, a scolding must be inevitable. I have to find a way to make up for it... …”
Xiao Luoan thought for a moment and said, "It would be convenient for Mr. Ruan to let me check the files of the government over the past few years in Ronghe Mansion to see if there are any remaining cases. Then I will see if I can solve the previous case. Two, it can be considered as an extra contribution to me.”
"Third Prince, I'm afraid this is..." Ruan Zhiheng declined without any hesitation.
Just kidding, are the files of Ronghe Mansion something you can check at will?
What's more, there are many cases that were arranged by him. If someone discovers that there are mistakes, how will he explain them?
This Xiao Luoan has really beautiful thoughts!
"This matter is probably putting Mr. Ruan in a difficult situation." Xiao Luoan said to himself, "If that doesn't work, why not just find some skilled craftsmen and go to Meiling to explore and see if there is really any minerals? , if it is true, it can be considered a credit!”
"My father simply sent me to check on Meiling this time. The investigation was also about mining. Since no one has been found to be mining without permission, let's just let the government do it. Then we can finally explain something."< br>
"Well, I think this method is very good. Mr. Ruan, I am not familiar with Ronghe Mansion, but you are the prefect here. Why don't you send out a notice now and summon all relevant people to come to Meiling to conduct an investigation? Go! ”
Ruan Zhiheng, "..."
This is going crazy!
After coughing lightly, Ruan Zhiheng weighed it for a moment and said, "Actually, it's not impossible for the Third Prince to check this file..."
When Xiao Luoan heard this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth a little.
Sure enough, when you make a request that the other party disagrees with, and you make a more extreme request, the first request will be easily agreed to.
"In that case, let's hurry back to the government office without further delay." Xiao Luoan immediately raised his feet and headed down the mountain.
Ruan Zhiheng, "..."
Eat as you say!
Moreover, this Xiao Luoan wants to check the files. In addition to being able to deal with his own business, he also wants to find out his mistakes and find some trouble for him, so as to calm down the fact that he has found nothing in Meiling. anger.
It would naturally be bad if he found out something, but it would be a good thing if he could calm down his anger and leave here early and return to the capital.
After all, if he stayed here for one more day, he would not dare to take any action in Meiling. Instead, he would delay a lot of things.
Send him away early and everyone can breathe a sigh of relief.
As for the things Xiao Luoan found out that may be detrimental to him...
It doesn't matter, the Wen family will remember what he has done for the Wen family and will compensate him bit by bit!
Ruan Zhiheng thought this way, feeling much relieved, and walked down the mountain with Xiao Luoan.
After leaving Meiling, they headed all the way to Ronghe Fucheng. After arriving at the government office, Ruan Zhiheng took him to the library without any hesitation, took out all the files, and let Xiao Luoan read them.
As the prefect, Ruan Zhiheng was busy with everything, so naturally he could not accompany him all the time, so he only sent officials from the government office to accompany him.
The clerk was also a person who had served in the prefecture for many years. He was smart and smart, and Ruan Zhiheng was very reassured.
So, Xiao Luoan and Xu Chong began to check the files to find the clues they wanted. (End of chapter)
